Question PC serious errors

[Alienfirefox]

Hey folks

I built an old retro PC about 6 months ago and its been working flawlessly until recently

It just crashed on me one day and wouldn't boot I had to format

I tried installing windows 10 and it came up with a big ugly corrupted yellow screen with lines all through it

so I had tried different ram and video card and HDD and sata cables but still no good

I re did the bios and it worked I thought ahh a corrupt bios I reinstalled windows than bam it happened again

I am suspecting its my motherboard but it could be my CPU as I have ruled out both my ram and video card and HDD

also I have removed all ram overclocking

I am sure you lot have had this issue before so please help me out
